PoE is a system that allows you to use a LAN cable as a power cable, making it possible to use a single LAN cable for both communication and power supply. This has the advantages of eliminating the need to lay new power cables, allowing you to install devices in places where power cables cannot reach, such as above the ceiling, and reducing the number of power cables and AC adapters used.

Raspberry Pi has been compatible with PoE since

the Raspberry Pi3 Model B+ released in 2018, and there are also ' PoE HATs ' and ' PoE+ HATs ' available for sale that add PoE support to your Raspberry Pi.



Raspberry Pi has recently released the Raspberry Pi PoE+ Injector, a PoE injector jointly developed with Microchip . This allows users to supply power using PoE without having to prepare a large-scale PoE switch . The Raspberry Pi PoE+ Injector supports both the IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards with an input voltage of 100V to 240V. In addition, the data rates are 10, 100, and 1000Mbps, and the output voltage is a nominal 55V.



According to Raspberry Pi, the Raspberry Pi PoE+ Injector does not come with a power cord for power input. Therefore, you will need to purchase a separate IEC320 C13 power cable.

Also, at the time of writing, the official PoE+ HAT for

Raspberry Pi 5 has not been released. Therefore, if you want to power the Raspberry Pi 5 via PoE, you will need to use a third-party product such as the WaveShare PoE HAT(G) .

At the time of writing, the Raspberry Pi PoE+ Injector can be purchased from the Raspberry Pi official website for $25 (about 3,700 yen). In addition, Switch Science, one of the Japanese distributors, has also started selling it for 5,280 yen including tax.
